Sweet Potato Egg Boats with Avocado Crema and Bacon

The original Sweet Potato Egg Boats with Avocado Crema and Bacon. A simple and healthy baked breakfast or lunch packed full of flavor and nutrition. It will be love at first bite.

People have an infatuation with failure. I think on some level, seeing other people fail gives us comfort that we are not alone. Or perhaps it inflates our own self-confidence? Let’s go with the former..

I fail all the time. I fail at not spilling on any of my clothes, remembering to water the flowers and yes, I totally fail in the kitchen. Admittedly, it isn’t all that often but I have racked up my fair-share of #kitchenfails.

Anywho, it was an epic flop and totally busted my cover to Jess about my perfect culinary skillz. Kidding, the girl is a culinary school graduate so she totally owns me.

Back to the drawing board we went AKA I signed onto skype and did a quick brainstorm sesh with Lee. It went somewhere along the lines of this:

Me: “I have eggs, sweet potatoes, avocado and bacon in my house…what should I make?”

Lee: “Obviously. When do you not have eggs, sweet potatoes, avocado and bacon in your house?”

Me: “Fair. Now what should I make?”

Lee: “Just bake the eggs in the sweet potatoes, top it with avocado and sprinkle it with bacon. Sweet Potato Egg Boats…BOOM.”

Me: “You’re so genius I could cry.”

Lee: “You better give me credit”.

So all credit for these sweet potato egg boats goes to Lee. She is the magician behind this recipe,which stemmed from failed pancakes. They’ve also subsequently become my go-to lunch recipe since they are the 4 ingredients I always have on hand.

Let’s all just take a moment to be thankful for the Canadian Flag Pancakes that never were. RIP.

What yolkporn! Quite a combo – I think this is a brunch waiting to happen. I fail a lot with pouring things. Yep. Powders, liquids, no matter what things just GO PLACES. I should really measure out extra of everything to allow for spillage.Cat recently posted…Outside Exercise in London

What a fantastic idea! I eat so many sweet potatoes throughout the week, and I’m always looking for new and creative ways to doctor them up! My go-to is always peanut butter and cinnamon, but I love the idea of adding an egg! I’m definitely going to try this!Alexa [fooduzzi.com] recently posted…Stupid Awesome Saturday (#16) – A Father’s Day Recipe Roundup

I saw this post this morning and new we had all the ingredients. It was a wonderful Father’s Day Brunch served with strawberries. It was easy, beautiful and tasted great! Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely be making it again.

#kitchenfails seem to be my life as of late, so it warms my heart when I hear other people are having issues as well. I don’t want other people to fail, but I do like the sense of camaraderie! These boats look so yummy! I love sweet potato and bacon – definitely in my top five favourite combos – and that egg looks just perfect! Welcome to weekend brunch, sweet potato egg boats!Amanda | The Cinnamon Scrolls recently posted…Chocolate Chili French Toast Bake

I wish my boyfriend liked sweet potatoes more because they are one of my favorite starches and he’s more of a grain guy! I think he would like this if I tried making it for him however 😉Dani @ DaniCaliforniaCooks recently posted…Red, White, and Blondies

The second I saw this on Instagram, I knew I had to make it! Didn’t have bacon/avocado on hand (blasphemy, I know) so I made without, and this is COMFORT FOOD at its finest! Definitely will make again 🙂

Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been out of the office for the holidays. I honestly can’t stay if they’ll stand up to reheating. In theory, yes they should be okay but I haven’t tried it myself. If you do, please let me know how they turn out!
